MASC Showcase: Snowflakes in Freefall


This is a live showcase of snowflake images captured in freefall at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University using the MASC (Multi Angle Snowflake Camera), which was developed at the University of Utah (Tim Garrett). This is part of a National Science Foundation project between Stony Brook (Dr. Brian Colle) and North Carolina State University (Dr. Sandra Yuter and Dr. Matthew Miller). The data is used to understand the microphysical evolution within East Coast winter storms. For more information about the MASC, please visit the SnowflakeStereography and Fallspeed home page.

Images are taken at f/5.6 with an exposure of 1/25,000th of a second using a 1.2MP industrial camera with a 16 mm lens. The image width is 33 mm (1 1/3 inches).
